INGREDIENTS

Peanut Sauce
  • 1/4 c peanut butter
  • 1/4 c maple syrup
  • 1/4 c olive oil
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic
Crispy Tofu and Chickpeas
  • 1 package of tofu (pressed* and cubed)
  • 1 can chickpeas (rinsed and dried**)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 c cornstarch
  • pinch of pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 pieces of flatbread
Coleslaw
  • 2 c coleslaw
  • 1 c cilantro (chopped)
  • juice of 1 lime
  • pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Peanut Sauce
  • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Crispy Tofu and Chickpeas
  • Mix the tofu and chickpeas together in a medium bowl. Add the soy sauce, a pinch of pepper, and the cornstarch, and toss until evenly coated.
  • Heat the olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add the tofu and chickpeas, spreading them so they're in an even layer. Do not stir for the first two minutes (this helps ensure crispiness)!
  • Toss the tofu and chickpeas and allow them to fry again without stirring. Repeat this until the tofu and chickpeas are crispy and cooked on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Pour about 1/4 c of the peanut sauce into the pan and toss until evenly coated. Cook for another minute.
Coleslaw/Assembly
  • Mix all coleslaw ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  • Spread some of the peanut sauce on a warm piece of flatbread, and top with the coleslaw and crispy tofu and chickpeas.

Notes

*Pressing your tofu helps to take the water out, and it's an essential step to make sure your tofu turns out crispy. Simply drain your tofu and wrap the tofu block in a few layers of paper towels. Place something heavy on top of the tofu (like a heavy pot with a lid) and allow it to sit for 1-2 hours. Change out the paper towels if needed.
**After you rinse your chickpeas, rub them in a paper towel or a towel to dry them. The chickpea skins will naturally start to fall off as you rub them. If you want your chickpeas to get extra crispy, remove the chickpea skins, too.
